How to Install Orchest on NetBSD

Orchest is an open-source tool that allows developers to control and manage their Kubernetes clusters efficiently. This tutorial will guide you on how to install Orchest on NetBSD. The steps are straightforward, and you should have Orchest installed on your machine in a few minutes.

Prerequisites

Before starting the installation process, make sure you have these prerequisites available and set up on your NetBSD machine:

  • NetBSD - Orchest supports NetBSD 9.x or later. Install NetBSD on your machine if it is not already installed.
  • Docker - Orchest requires Docker to be installed on your machine.

If you do not have Docker installed on your machine, run the following command to download and install the Docker package:

pkgin update
pkgin install docker

Once you have Docker installed, you can proceed to install Orchest.

Install Orchest

Follow these steps to install Orchest on NetBSD:

  1. Install the Orchest binary using the following curl command in a terminal window on your NetBSD machine:
sudo curl -Lo /usr/local/bin/orchest https://github.com/orchest/orchest/releases/download/v0.5.5/orchest-linux-amd64 && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/orchest

This command will download the Orchest binary and place it in the /usr/local/bin directory on your machine.

  1. Verify that Orchest is installed correctly by checking the version of Orchest installed:
orchest version

If Orchest is successfully installed, you will see output similar to the following:

Orchest version v0.5.5

Configure Orchest

After installing Orchest, you need to configure it with your Kubernetes cluster. You can use the config command to configure Orchest with your Kubernetes cluster.

  1. First, create a configuration file config.yaml with the following details and replace the values according to your environment:
apiVersion: orchest.io/v1beta1
kind: Config
metadata:
  name: default
  namespace: orchest
spec:
  kubernetes:
    context: myk8scontext
    configFile: /path/to/.kube/config
  proxy:
    image: gcr.io/google_containers/kube-proxy-amd64:v1.9.3

This configuration file specifies details about the Kubernetes context and configuration file along with the details of the proxy image.

  1. Create a namespace for Orchest:
kubectl create namespace orchest
  1. Apply the configuration file:
orchest config apply -f config.yaml

The above command will configure Orchest with your Kubernetes cluster.

Deploy Orchest

After configuring Orchest, you can now deploy it using the following command:

orchest deploy

This command will deploy Orchest helm chart to your Kubernetes cluster.

Verify Orchest Deployment

Once the deployment is complete, check the status of the Orchest deployment by running the following command:

kubectl get pods -n orchest

This command will return a list of pods, and if the deployment was successful, you should see output similar to the following:

NAME                                                              READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
orchest-controller-manager-7d9765d5cd-7mx65                       2/2     Running   0          2m
orchest-discovery-6cf5b6cf89-cnlst                                1/1     Running   0          2m

If you see the above output, then Orchest is successfully installed and deployed on your NetBSD machine.
